About
Acen is best known for his early 1990s UK rave and hardcore breakbeat techno productions. It was with Production House that Acen released his first hit "Close Your Eyes", which instantly became a hardcore breakbeat anthem. In quick succession Acen released tunes such as "Trip II The Moon", "Window In The Sky" and his debut album "75 Minutes". "Trip II The Moon" is Acen's landmark release. Even though Acen's releases were not licensed to majors, remaining on Production House, "Close Your Eyes" went on to be Music Week's Dance Single of the Year and "Trip II the Moon" made the UK top 40 chart in 1992. Later Acen experimented with Drum n' Bass, releasing tracks such as "No More" and "116.7" on Warner Brothers' subsidiary F-111. More recently he has been behind the lens directing and editing films and music promos. Acen's 2004 release "Dirty Raver" appeared on Rennie Pilgrem's TCR label and featured a video directed by Acen himself.
